Ealdwita Posted November 21, 2012 #7 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thank you Ghostdancer. We don't have Thanksgiving in the UK because we don't have a great deal to be thankful for! (Except English Ale) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealdwita Posted November 21, 2012 #10 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) Well ealdwita, you can always have one on us then! Cheers, old chap. One of these fine days I'm gonna get off my fat butt and come across the pond for a holiday. I've been most places East of the Greenwich Meridian but never West. I hear you have a few horses over there too! Edited November 21, 2012 by ealdwita 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My sister has some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted November 21, 2012 #14 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) More like . . . "we'll wait until their stuffed and drunk, then we'll slaughter 'em" Nope...utterly incorrect. The first Thanksgiving (which was actually a harvest festival) saw the Native Americans and the Pilgrims getting along rather well actually. See link: http://www.pilgrimha...rg/f_thanks.htm BTW, I live in Plymouth MA and it's a pretty big holiday here.

Lilly Posted November 21, 2012 #16 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Of course the wealthy 'powers that be' wanted to remove the indigenous people and claim the land...history demonstrates that quite clearly. However, the first survivours (50 odd of them) were not immediately hostile to the native people. The real nasty stuff went down as more and more people came to join the colony. Sadly, the sentiments of the first Thanksgiving were not to last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ealdwita Posted November 22, 2012 #20 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Since my post on this thread (#8), it's occurred to me that we have celebrated 'Thanksgiving Days' in England in the past. There was one called in 1588 after the defeat of the Spanish Armada, one in 1606 to celebrate the failure of the Gunpowder Plot which morphed over the years into Guy Fawkes Night, and another in 1705 (something to do with Queen Anne, but I can't remember what!)
